Description: Winnipeg: Winnipeg Art Gallery, 2013. 30cm., hardcover, 276pp., 110 color illus. Summary: From its establishment in 1912 as the first civic art gallery in Canada to its role a century later as one of the leading visual arts institutions in the country, the history of the Winnipeg Art Gallery is inextricably linked to the principle that the cause of art is the cause of the people. Marking the Gallery’s Centennial, this publication documents a truly historic assembly of one hundred works of art from twenty-eight museums in Canada and two in the United States, along with ten pieces from the Gallery’s permanent collection. The author provides historical research and commentary on each work. Among the works included are major pieces by Rembrandt van Rijn, Claude Lorrain, François Boucher, Thomas Gainsborough, Claude Monet, Pierre-August Renoir, Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Andy Warhol, Gerhard Richter, Auguste Rodin, Alexander Calder. Canadian artists include Cornelius Krieghoff, Paul Kane, Antoine Plamondon, Paul Peel, James Wilson Morrice, Tom Thomson, Lawren Harris, Emily Carr, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Alex Colville, Mary Pratt, Jeff Wall, Jane Ash Poitras, Bill Reid, and Wanda Koop.
